The Top 100 Restaurants in Vancouver

  1. Rank 1. Botanist

    Contemporary

    Chef Hector Laguna's departure hasn't dulled Botanist's edge—its hand-cut tagliatelle with foraged mushrooms and sourdough chicken remain assured and bold. The adjacent bar laboratory engineers whimsical cocktails like the Raincouver, topped with an edible cloud, alongside a sophisticated gin martini built with kombu and sea asparagus.

Start with Dungeness crab spring rolls or tartare—smoked bison, vegetables, traditional—then the bone-in Vancouver cut, seared and confident, or beef Wellington if you want theater with your protein.

  174. Dark wood and brass fixtures recall a Vancouver that knew how to linger over a cocktail, and Hy's delivers the old-school steakhouse experience with a ribeye that justifies the trip. The cheesy bread and onion rings are pure nostalgia, the kind of sides that taste like they haven't changed in decades because they don't need to.

    Omakase Sushi

    Chef Maumi Ozaki commands his intimate counter with efficient precision, delivering nigiri that forgoes ceremony for clarity: botan ebi gleaming with salt, smoked skipjack perfumed with ginger and scallion, uni yielding its creamy depth. The omakase arrives unhurried and reasonably priced, a quietly confident argument against the pretension that serious sushi demands expense.

    Northern Italian

    Tucked on a hotel terrace, this dining room channels the alpine borderlands of Friuli with quiet sophistication. Freshly made cjarsons arrive topped with poppy seed butter; a braised cabbage agrodolce cuts through rich Milanese cutlet. The kitchen sources locally and lets seasonal produce speak, Italian restraint as philosophy.

  207. A downtown Italian space with soaring ceilings and wood-burning ovens overhead pivoted from pizzeria to fine dining without losing its ease. The kitchen excels at direct, unfussy work—a chilled tomato soup with jamón, gossamer pasta in simple sauce—while servers in uniform remain genuinely warm rather than stiff. The enclosed patio strikes the rare balance between ceremony and comfort.

Concrete and steel frame views of the open kitchen, where lunch pivots between kakuni-braised rice bowls and dinner's more restless reach across East and West—tuna tataki dressed as a Niçoise salad, duck rillette with Basque cheesecake for dessert. The cooking at Torafuku draws from Korea, Japan, and Taiwan but refuses to stay put, which is precisely the point.
